The defending Stanley Cup champions won their first game after opening at Boston with a 3-3 tie. Meanwhile, the Hurricanes fell to 0-2 for the first time since 1997-98.

Brodeur picked up win No. 366 and improved to 21-8-5 all-time against Carolina.

Rod Brind'Amour hit the post less than two minutes into the third, almost breaking up Brodeur's shutout bid. The Carolina center then scored with 71/2 minutes left to pull the Hurricanes within one goal.

Flyers 3, Penguins 3

PHILADELPHIA -- Aleksey Morozov's goal with 7:12 left brought Pittsburgh back from a three-goal deficit as the Penguins and Philadelphia played to a tie.

The Flyers led 3-0 after almost 18 minutes, but failed to hold it against the rebuilding Penguins.

Pittsburgh tied it when Morozov took a pass from Ryan Malone during an odd-man rush and lifted a shot over Flyers goaltender Robert Esche's left shoulder.

Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux and Dick Tarnstrom also scored for Pittsburgh.

Sebastien Caron had 32 saves in his first start for the Penguins. Esche had 20 saves in his first start.

Thrashers 4, Capitals 3

WASHINGTON -- Ronald Petrovicky scored twice as Atlanta won in Washington for the first time.

Randy Robitaille and Ilya Kovalchuk also scored for the Thrashers, who were playing their first game since the funeral of teammate Dan Snyder on Friday in Elmira, Ont. Snyder died Oct. 5, six days after he sustained a severe brain injury when a Ferrari driven by teammate Dany Heatley crashed on a narrow city street.

Robitaille added two assists for the Thrashers who were 0-7-2-1 in Washington since entering the NHL. Atlanta is off to a 2-0 start for the first time in the franchise's five seasons.

Boyd Gordon, Sergei Gonchar and Jaromir Jagr each had a goal for Washington.

The Capitals lost defenseman Brendan Witt midway through the first period after a face-first tumble into the boards. Witt, who lay motionless on the ice for several minutes before being helped to the locker room, had a bloody nose and was to be examined after the game.

Red Wings 3, Senators 2, OT

OTTAWA -- Nicklas Lidstrom scored Detroit's third power-play goal of the game 2:52 into overtime, leading the Red Wings over Ottawa.

Lidstrom's slap shot from the point beat goalie Patrick Lalime with three seconds left in Zdeno Chara's interference penalty, giving Detroit its second win in as many games.

Tomas Holmstrom and Steve Yzerman also scored power-play goals and Dominik Hasek made 17 saves for his second win since coming out of retirement. Jason Spezza and Radek Bonk scored for Ottawa, which claimed a hard-earned point in the only regular season meeting between the two teams this season.

Bruins 1, Panthers 1

SUNRISE -- Olli Jokinen scored early in the third period to lift Florida into a tie with Boston.

Sergei Samsonov scored for the Bruins, who have failed to win at least one of their first three games (0-2-1) for the first time since 1999-00 when Boston didn't get its first win until its 10th game.

Florida goalie Roberto Luongo made 32 saves. Andrew Raycroft, making his first start of the season for the Bruins, stopped 34 shots.

Raycroft replaced Felix Potvin at the start of the third period in Fridays 5-1 loss at Tampa Bay.

Islanders 6, Sabres 0

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Rick DiPietro made 13 saves for his first career shutout and Mark Parrish and Alexei Yashin each scored twice as New York defeated Buffalo.

The win gave Islanders coach Steve Stirling his first NHL victory. He replaced Peter Laviolette in June.

The Sabres were shut out for the second consecutive game, the first time in franchise history they have started the season with two blankings.

DiPietro, the first pick in the 2000 draft, also held the Capitals scoreless over 33 minutes in the regular-season opener on Thursday. DiPietro relieved starter Garth Snow in the second period of the loss.

Arron Asham and Mariusz Czerkawski also scored for the Islanders.

Canadiens 4, Maple Leafs 0

TORONTO -- Jose Theodore made 21 saves and Montreal scored three times in the second period to spoil Toronto's season opener.

The Maple Leafs, losers in the first round of the playoffs last season, were booed heartily as they left the ice.

Mike Ribeiro, Richard Zednik and Sheldon Souray scored in the second for the Canadiens, who won at the Air Canada Centre for just the second time in 12 games.

Theodore, who allowed five goals in Thursday's season-opening loss to Ottawa, made several impressive saves for his 18th career shutout.

Stars 3, Predators 1

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Mike Modano scored a power-play goal in the third period to cap Dallas' victory over Nashville.

Modano, stationed in the middle of the right circle, one-timed a pass from Sergei Zubov past Nashville goaltender Tomas Vokoun.

The Stars opened the scoring at 18:17 of the first period when Pierre Turgeon fired a shot from low in the slot through a crowd in front of the net.

The Predators tied it in the second period when Andreas Johansson sent a cross-ice pass to Marek Zidlicky, whose one-timer went over a sprawling Marty Turco.

Antti Miettinen scored on a breakaway at 7:05 of the third period to give the Stars a 2-1 lead.
